Agonoscelis rutila
An orange stink bug feeding on the butterfly bush Buddleja davidii.
This bush is common in flower gardens but this one was planted on the top of a mountain.
Thanks Paul. That is certainly correct.
It's not one that I had seen yet but it appears to have been sighted over most parts of Australia.
Thanks for your suggestion Malcolm, they do look similar.
